Current problems of improving the norm on an act of international terrorism

The Fight against terrorist crimes is a key direction of the state's international and national policy. Terrorism in all its manifestations and forms has been repeatedly recognized as a key threat to the peace and security of mankind, a determinant of instability, and a major factor that suspends the progressive development of the entire human community. In most developed countries, the effectiveness of the fight against terrorism is one of the highest priorities of state policy. The aim of this research is the need for the doctrinal justification of the foundations of criminal liability and application to face punishment for an act of international terrorism, as legislation under Chapter 34 "Crimes against peace and security of mankind", as well as development of recommendations for the correct application of article 361 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation in the activities of law enforcement and the courts. In art. 361 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation according to the authors, the issues of the definition of an act of international terrorism, as well as the place and purpose of the Commission of this criminal act are very controversial. There is a need to eliminate obvious legislative shortcomings in the current version of article 361 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation, which reduces the possibility of correct and effective application of this article. The authors conducted a study in the legislative structure of the crime under article 361 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation (act of international terrorism). This generally dangerous action frightens the population, threatens the life, health, and safety of citizens, is directed against the interests of citizens, and is aimed at harming the peace and security of mankind. Specific measures are proposed to improve legislation and tighten responsibility for committing an act of international terrorism.
